Why do women do all the "emotional labor"?

I love this article. It talks about married couples and the fact that women seem to do all the “emotional labor” at home. Basically that women run the household. And that men are slackers. They call the “other” spouse slackers numerous times in the article. To summarize, men are slackers so women are forced to be in charge or nothing gets done. Now let’s talk about how to get your man off his ass.

Let me manslate this article and give you a different perspective: Men realize that there’s more than one way to accomplish something, women don’t. They want things THEIR WAY because they think it’s the only right way to do something. Which makes it funny that they call this “emotional” labor, because women run things based on their emotions and not reason. So to keep the peace, the guy goes along with her way of folding the towels because, even though there’s 10 ways to fold them and they just need folded and put away, she has a ONE RIGHT WAY to fold them. She’s become emotional about how to fold a f~~~ing towel! I can’t overstate how awesome it is that they take chores that just need to get done and refer to them as “emotional” labor. Making a doctor’s appointment isn’t emotional labor, it’s just making a phone call.

So now Judy is overwhelmed by all of her stupid emotional rules she has and wants someone to offload them to. But she doesn’t really want to offload them, what she really wants is for the man to make the decisions, but make them EXACTLY the way that she would make them, but once you pick a way to fold the towels it will automatically be wrong because she WANTS, no NEEDS, to be p~~~ed at you. She wants you create the s~~~ test before the s~~~ test, and simultaneously both pass and fail the s~~~ test at the same time. She wants fried ice.

And then she wants to drag your ass to a therapist so they can team up on you about why you don’t take on any of the “emotional labor”. Anything to keep you off balance and focused on making her happy. Which accomplishes a couple of things: YOU aren’t focused on making you happy, and SHE isn’t focused on making you happy. It’s ALL about her. Just the way Judy likes it. And because you admitted you were wrong by trying to change your behavior, she has all the justification she needs on the hamster wheel to cheat on you, divorce you, and take all your s~~~.

And women wonder where all the good men have gone…

It all comes down to the same basic things. Women are childish, self entitled, overly emotional and illogical.

The evil in women’s hearts leaves them no moral bounds as to inhibit them from descending to the lowest levels of darkness to acquire their self entitled desires.

By ’emotional labour’ they actually mean drama.

Drama give the vagina tingles.

Women want everything, but want responsibility and accountability for nothing.

Meh.
Yet more of the never ending self aggrandizement of a majority of women. Claiming to have to “do it all” yet again, with the end result advising all men just to go with it.
The end result will be the financial and emotional ass raping any man who puts up with this crap will get in “relationship” court because a lot of women think their vag is “totally worth it”.
Feel free to have sexual relations with yourself and the equine which transported your gluteous maximus to the “conversation” ladies.

If one honestly, and I do mean HONESTLY, looks at marriage/relationships one would see that it is a purely business deal that a man will pay premium prices for, yet will accept a barely adequate product in, and will be be both pleasantly surprised and willing to “pay” more for if the product is above minimum standard.
Most men will pay for, provide for, protect, and put up with a “stay at home mom/wife” if the following conditions are met as a minimum;
1. Exclusive unrationed access to her vag.
2. Home and hearth maintained and cared for, (that means food cooked and house cleaned FFS).
3. Children cared for.
4. A modicum of appreciation and respect for providing everything physical for you.
5. A non toxic/hostile/demanding home environment.
6. Honesty
7. Peace and quiet (meaning no bitching about useless/irrelevant/unrealistic s~~~)

Of course there is and can/will be more up for negotiation on both sides. That however reinforces the reality that it is actually a business deal.

-EDIT-
As an aside.
If the “relationship” is truly “equal”, then the contract will reflect said equality.
However.
I have not personally ever been in an “equal partnership”. I used to pay and sacrifice and do the real heavy lifting myself while the cupcakes sat in comfort and complained.

There was a time in my life when I gave a fuck. Now you have to pay ME for it

Men are walking on eggshells and if they make a mistake, they get put in the “doghouse”. They’re not slackers. They’re not allowed to do anything unless they can do it her way.

I bathe in the tears of single moms.

They call it “emotional labour” because they aren’t doing the physical labour. Talking about it isn’t the same as doing it. It’s always easier said than done….. they don’t do but think complaining about it is the same as doing the chore. I’m so glad I’m divorced from all the “honey-do” list without the effort on her part.
Well, sex isn’t everything and once they don’t have that… everything backfires… we don’t care we are MGTOW.

Talk is cheap!! We aren’t interested. A sex strike by women….married men aren’t getting it anyway…..I doubt they’d even notice.
